Overview: Describing all the information, tips, and resources
in this 365-page workbook-sized book would be impossible. A sample of
the things I learned include: A typical keyboard harbors 3000 bacteria
per square inch, and the average office-building toilet seat has 50 bacteria
per square inch; James Carville, Art Garfunkle, and Amelia Earnhart all
taught school in addition to their other endeavors; brainstorming was
introduced by Alex Osborne in the advertising industry; and more than
1200 colleges and universities grant graduate credits for completing national
board certification. I also found 20 tips for making grading as painless
as possible; 22 tips for asking effective questions; 24 tips for working
with other teachers; 30 alternative assessments; 27 online education journals;
and 12 sources of rubber stamps. In addition, the book provides such reproducibles
as a field trip permission form, hall and homework passes, an attendance
log, award certificates, an effective teacher checklist, a list of stress
symptoms, a copyright permission request form, and many more. Whether
you're a veteran teacher who feels as though you've forgotten more than
still know or a new teacher who wants the knowledge of a veteran, this
book is a terrific resource.
